Seafood

Salmon Salad (Quick & Easy) I have to admit I’ve been slacking lately on eating my veggies. The other day my body was screaming to me that I needed to eat a salad. So I made a salmon salad the past for the past two days for lunch & I even had some green juice! It may have also had something to do with the fact that I just bought some Tessemae’s & Jacqueline and Jerome dressings that I was excited to…

After indulging in lots of food for Thanksgiving (and having leftover pie for two days & grain-free pizza on Sunday), I wanted to reset this week and eat light meals. So I started my week with Broiled Chilean Sea Bass with Pesto Zucchini Noodles. Chilean sea bass is one of my favorite fish because it has a thicker texture and mild taste. I love love love pesto sauce and haven’t made it in a while so I thought what better…

Simple dinners are the best! I love making fish since it’s so quick & super healthy. Red snapper is one of my favorite types of fish – I think it was actually the first fish I tried that I liked (before I started eating a paleo diet, I was petrified of fish and refused to try most types). This recipe is SO easy, you may cry from excitement (at least if you’re hardly ever in the mood to cook…

This recipe is light & perfect for summer. I aim to eat fish at least twice a week. Grey sole is very thin and cooks really fast so it’s perfect for a quick & easy meal. I paired my fish with asparagus sauteed in olive oil and roasted red potatoes (potatoes not featured in the recipe). I use Kasandrinos EVOO. I don’t know if you’ve heard about it, but there’s been deception going on in the olive oil industry-…

Grilling season is finally here! That makes me a happy girl. Not just because of BBQing (which is, of course, awesome), but because I absolutely despise the cold weather. Winter really gets me down- I feel depressed, unmotivated, tired, lazy, etc. As soon as I’m able to, I plan on moving to San Diego, California- or possibly some other warm-weather state that has access to healthy food 😉 For now, I am going to soak up every ounce of sun/warm…

I’ve been on my journey to optimal health for a little bit over 3 years now. Eating paleo made me feel much better at first, but I must admit I eat way too much paleo sweets and treats. I would always tell myself, “it’s okay, it’s paleo.” Now that I am studying nutritional therapy, I am finally coming around to accept that no, that really doesn’t make it okay. Once in a while, as a treat, yes that’s fine, but…

This recipe took me about an hour from start to finish. It was definitely an easy and stress-free meal. I bought zucchini that was already made into noodles in a store by me, so that made it even simpler. This meal is strict paleo and was definitely enjoyable for me and my family. I personally don’t think this would go over great with non-paleo guests, as they would probably prefer it be served with wheat noodles, but I didn’t try…

This recipe took me about an hour and a half from start to finish, including chopping veggies. If you chop your veggies ahead of time, it will cut down on the time. This recipe is easy to follow and make. It’s a simple but delicious dinner. The tzatziki sauce tastes shockingly like the real thing. This meal is definitely strict paleo and sugar-free. I think it would go over well with non-paleo guests, especially if you added some type…

This is one of the easiest recipes ever. When I get home from work I’m pretty much always feeling lazy and just wanting to get dinner over with so I can relax before bed. Due to my desire to relax, I aim to create very simple recipes. Sometimes I do choose to make some more complicated dishes because of cravings, and let’s face it: most of the time the more complicated dishes are the most satisfying. However, sometimes…

I love scallions. I love pretty much anything in the onion family. So, naturally I made a tuna salad full of vegetables from the onion family. Thinking of what to have for lunch on paleo can be tricky, especially if you don’t have access to a microwave to bring leftovers to work. This is a delicious cold lunch. You can eat it with lettuce wraps, paleo almond crackers, plantain chips, or anything else you could think of! I usually…
